Early Times Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon

Nice surprise for bourbon <$30. Little nutty but heavier on the caramel. Some noticeable ethanol bitterness but only if you're looking for it. This is like the baby brother of Old Grandad 114 in taste

One of my go to Whiskeys. Great price, great taste

Nose: little ethanol little caramel light fruit Palate: light tobacco with more ethanol. Drinks well for its proof and has a bit of a funk. Not bad Finish: short

Nose:apple tart and Carmel Taste: full mouth feel with some spice and almost toffee flavor. A little vanilla at the end

Very nice full flavor and surprisingly pleasant finish. Great value.

Early Times BIB $26 NOSE: Sweet. Caramel, Oak, Straw, Rye. A good bit of Dried Spices like Clove and Cinnamon. A Hint of Orange Peel. Maybe some Dried Cherry and Dark Chocolate. There is a hint of the Latex Paint note I find in Brown-Foreman, but not as pronounced as OldFo or Woodford. There is a hefty note of Ethanol in the background, but not enough to be unpleasant. NEAT: This is Super Sweet. Nice Heavy, Clingy and Syrupy Mouthfeel. There is a nice jolt of Spicy Tingle. You get Vanilla, Oak, Cherry Cough Syrup, Black Coffee along with a pretty prominent Bitterness. Bitter Oak and Cherry linger and coat after a nice warming medium length finish. I'm betting this bitter note would help offset the sweetness of an Old Fashioned. SPLASH: Gets rid of the alcohol on the nose and reduces the bitterness on the palate. VERDICT: A new product for us here in NC. It's roughly the same cost and proof as the Signature OldFo, but it has a clingy characteristic I really like that the OldFo is missing. I can definitely see this being a repeat buy.
